This invention relates to a lower blade for a barbers clipper, and it isan object of the invention to provide a blade of this kind whicheliminates the liability of a bowl effect 6 upon clipping the hair.

It is also an object of the invention to provide a blade of this kindembodying a curved extensionwhich serves to lead the hair down to thecutting edge of the clipper thus eliminating an unfinished clipper lineand which also permits use of the clipper without chattering as theclipper may lie firm on the scalp from the nose to the heel of theclipper, thus assuring a perfect tapering hair cut.

An additional object of the invention is to provide a blade of thiskindwherein the use of a comb during a hair cutting operation isminimized The invention consists in the details of construction and inthe combination and arrangement of the several parts of my improvedlower blade for a barbers clipper whereby certain important advantagesare attained and the device rendered simpler, less 5 expensive andotherwise more convenient and advantageous for use, as will behereinafter more fully set forth. l

The novel features of my'invention will hereinafter be definitelyclaimed.- 7 In orderthat my invention may be the better understood, Iwill now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanyingdrawing, wherein Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of a lower bladefor hair clippers constructed in accordance with an embodiment of myinvention, associated parts of the clipper being indicated by brokenlines;

Figure2 is a view in topplan of the blade as herein disclosed;

Figure 3 is a view in front elevation of the blade as illustrated inFigure 2.

As disclosed in the accompanying drawing, l3 denotes the body portion ofa lower 45 blade for hair clippers constructed in accordance with anembodiment of my invention and wherein the under surface of said bladein cross section is curved. The forward F or working edge portion of theblade is straight and has projecting therefrom longi- 'tudinally spacedteeth :1. Substantially every other tooth 1 is provided with" aforwardly disposed and upwardly curved extension 2. The working ends of.the blade are also provided with ithe forwardly disposed and upwardlycurved extensions 3 complemental to the extensions 2, said extensions 3being. relatively broad. It is also to be understood that the extensions2 and 3 are positioned substantially entirely above a barber. This is ofadvantageespeciallywhen the barber is unskilled andfails to cut out theclipper line with the fine part of the comb and scissors which wouldresult in giving the hair cut a bowl effect. With my improved lowerblade this bowl efiect cut is eliminated as the extensions 2 and 3prevent theclipper leaving an unfinished clipper line. The rollingaction which the extensions per- .1 mit the clipper to have prevents theclipper from chattering as it lies firm on the scalp moving, from thenose to the heel of the clipper, thus assuring a perfect tapering haircut.

The extensions 2 and 3 also permit the clipper to be used with thecutting edge close to the scalp at allftimes, thus substantiallyeliminating the liability of the hair cut having knicks which are verydifficult to cut out with the fine part of a comb and scissors andIgvhich work is extremely tedious for the bar- From the foregoingdescription it is thought to be obvious that a lower blade for v abarbers clipper constructed in accordance with my invention isparticularly well adapted for use by reason of the convenience andfacility with which it may be assembled and operated, and it will alsobe'obvious that my be invention is susceptible of some change andmodification without departing from the principles and spirit thereofand for this reason I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself tothe precise arrangement and {)9 formation of the several parts hereinshown in carrying out my invention in practice eX- cept as hereinafterclaimed.

I claim A lower blade for barber clippers comprising a body having arelatively flat upper surface adapted for engagement With a flatreciprocatory cutter blade, a plurality of cutter teeth on the forwardedge of said body, and a plurality of upwardly and forwardly curved combteeth integrally formed with certain of said cutter teeth and adapted tohold the hair therebetween for engagement with the cutter teeth, saidbody having a curved lower face portion the curved portion of the bodyterminating rearwardly of the forward ends of the cutter teeth.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aifix my signature.

ALBERT T. SCHEIWER.
